Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) for Footwear
In footwear production, the size-color variant matrix, last/model variety and leather-sole consumption require functions to separate stock and cost at variant level. Track every stock movement from raw-material receipt to shipment. Bin-location management, warehouse receipts, batch-lot and serial-number tracking, reservation and packing work integrated with production, purchasing and sales.
Footwear context
Why Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) works differently in Footwear
In Footwear, footwear production center on sector-specific concepts such as size-color variant matrix, last/model management, leather-sole consumption. In footwear production, the size-color variant matrix, last/model variety and leather-sole consumption require functions to separate stock and cost at variant level.
Qera ERP's Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) module is set up around how the footwear sector works: Tracks leather, soles and accessories by batch, and finished goods by size-color variant.
- When size and color variants can't be managed under one product code, stock and order tracking gets tangled.
- When the season and collection plan doesn't match capacity, deliveries are delayed.
- When leather, sole and accessory consumption isn't tracked clearly, the true model cost is unknown.
